So I traded in my 1997 Ford Explorer for a new 2004 FORD ESCAPE..and the salesman is showing me the interior of the vehicle and then he pops the hood to show me the engine and other things under the hood..So he is showing me the engine..and I look at the firewall of the truck..and I said to the salesman..does that say what i think it says?? [Eek!]

I took a picture today to show you what it says...

The salesman said it must have come from the factory like that...
someone must have been having a really bad day...

I'm callin' your bluff. [Smile]

Dont forget to include yourself in the picture so that we will know who the heck that SUV belongs to. Otherwise we will know you are lying. [evil]

It is well known that Fords assembled on Mondays (or any other day) are not reliable. I bet this one was assembled on a Monday by a very unhappy worker. It probably has ZERO reliability. Take it back now![av=p]

If the photo is a fake, I would say "good job" to whoever Photoshopped it. University Roman is kind of an odd font choice for that phrase. Maybe the disgruntled labeler didn't have Trajan loaded onto his computer.

After seeing "Call 1-800 GO PENIS" on the back of a Ryder truck, I think anything is possible for graphics vandalism.

I've seen the pic before, it's real (I have a labeler that does Univerity Roman), just not the story.

It is a REAL picture from my REAL 2004 Ford Escape.
And, as my friends would tell you, I couldn't
"Photoshop" anything if I wanted to! I'll take
some more pictures and post them to convince
everyone..OR if you are in the RHODE ISLAND area,
stop by and I will show it to you! Maybe Bob
Maar could stop by when he is in Newport for
the weekend! Do I get a prize when I prove it
is REAL??

We'll send you a REAL picture of a REAL prize.

Looks like it was made on a P-Touch.

A really nice P-Touch.

With lots of fonts...

Wait, you can take a picture of a label on your truck but you can't take a picture of you?
